Question:

Hi there, I am looking for a trailer hitch for my 2006 Lexus RX330. Ill mostly be towing a small trailer with lawn mowers or furniture. Nothing extremely heavy. I have a few questions: I found two options on your site that seem to be good. Does one have an edge over the other? Also, based on my car model, do you know if my car will need wiring or does it come with it already? Which wiring product would you recommend? Additionally, does that level of weight furniture and lawn mowers seem within the weight limits for both my car and the trailer hitch? Finally, do the trailer hitch and the wiring require a professional to install it or maybe I could do it myself? Thank you,

Out of the three hitches that are confirmed for your 2006 Lexus RX 330 The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 inch # e98857 is best because it has an extra coating of rust resistant paint on it making the paint coat to last longer in the elements. The hitch is also made in the USA.

The trailer hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required, and has a matte black powder coat finish that is over a protective base coat that offers a superior rust resistance.

The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight up to 350 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find the correct towing capacity for your vehicle. If your trailer plus furniture and lawn mowers are under the recommended towing capacity of your vehicle then you will be good to go.

The trailer wiring does not come with the hitch you will need The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118478 is confirmed to fit your 2006 Lexus RX 330. The harness will give you a 4-flat connector which will make it to where your trailer's stop, turn and taillights mirror your vehicle's stop, turn and taillights. The T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area.

Both hitch and wiring can be installed by yourself, but you can get a professional to install as well.

The Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45554 includes an 8-1/4 inch long, powder coated ball mount with a pre-torqued hitch ball; hitch pin and clip; hitch receiver lock with keys; hitch cover; and a storage case.
